Sports: UCLA football not ready for prime time

UCLA won 27-17 over BYU.

But fans walking from the stadium felt: a win is a win and we'll take it but we are clearly concerned about the team.

BYU 435 yards UCLA 236.

BYU 391 passing yards UCLA 126.

I wonder what the time of possession numbers were?

It seemed like BYU always had the ball!

The reason UCLA won was turnovers. One interception was run back by UCLA for a TD. BYU lost 3 fumbles. One of the fumbles was in the red zone as BYU was about to score the go ahead touchdown. Another fumble gave UCLA good field position which allowed UCLA to get a field goal.

BYU also had 11 penalties for 84 yards.

BYU beat themselves.

Clearly UCLA has some problems on both sides of the ball. The offense was sluggish. The defense is being exposed. If you have a decent QB and some decent WRs you can throw on the Bruin secondary.
